Introduction: Easy Shower #Qualcomm #DragonBoard #96boards

Easy Shower is a Technological project developed in Tecnológico de Monterrey (Campus Chihuahua) by a group of students currently becoming Mechatronic Engineers. This prototype allows the user to start a house-hold boiler from a smartphone application, via Bluetooth. The Dragonboard 410c not only starts and shuts down the boiler at users will; it also saves energy by preventing it from running all day long. The system includes a temperature sensor to indicate the user the moment hot water is ready. Always concerned about user's safety, the pressure sensor is capable to trigger an alarm notifying a person in case a gas leak is detected.

To elaborate this project properly you will nead AT LEAST:

· DRAGONBOARD™ 410C HACK KIT

· Mechanical pincers

· Lighter

· A balloon or any inflatable recipient

12V Solenoid·

MDF 2mx2m Sheet (Any thickness)

CPU Source power

Air pump

Glue or Cold Silicon

First, we need to connect the Hack Kit in order to be able to enter to Linaro’s terminal and configure GPIO, bluetooth and Analogical Inputs (Arduino’s Interface) programming the following configuration code in Linux language:

//If you want to see the different files and folders on the current folder

ls

//To run a python program

sudo python name.py

print(“found %d devices” % len(nearby_devices))

Other requirement is to create an Android App, pereferably on the MIT App inventor webpage (http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/) that is capable of recognizing and sending Dragonboard’s orders creating the main point of this Project… a controller at the palm of your hand.

For the creation of the physical prototype we will to work with the MDF sheet in order to make a kind of functional structure, we recommend to create the corresponding designs using AutoCAD and make the cuts using a professional LaserCut.

The code in charge of running the prototype is programmed in Python, You can find it below.
